Lets say you exert a force on something which is at rest you apply some amount of pressure and that pressure is exerted on some amount of area.therefore we define pressure as Force/Area.Hence we come to the end of disscusion that pressure is directly proportional to force i.e if pressure increases force increases proportionally and its inversely proportional to Area i.e if Area decreases the pressure exerted on the surface has to be increase.This can be illustrated practically.
